　　Livik is the name of the new PUBG Mobile map.Regarding new mechanics, a "golden resource-rich area" will now spawn at the beginning of each match and there is also a soccer field and special crates that can be tracked down using treasure maps.

　　PUBG Mobile 2.0 launches today, but the map will be available tomorrow, May 11. The new season officially begins on May 19, which will add all kinds of new items to the game.

　　Get in the robot, ShinjiArguably the most interesting and unexpected part of this 2.0 celebration is the announcement that PUBG Mobile will have a Neon Genesis Evangelion event where the angels from the anime will be added to the map. It's unclear when this event will begin, but the 2.0 preview trailer (embedded above) shows Shinji's Evangelion Unit-01 walking around while a player tries to shoot it. Understanding the context of the source material, that really feels like a fool's errand.

　　Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't the only intellectual property about terrifying creatures that threaten the existence of humanity on a global scale that has partnered with PUBG Mobile. You can also unlock Baby Shark items.
